Save yourself the headache and get something that works locally and doesn’t rely on their cloud and app.

What options are there out of the box? I only know of hacking well known brands and use something like valetudo

I’ve heard nothing but great things about Roborock.

I have one and it works well. Vacuum and moping in one machine that costs a lot less than the irobot equivalent. You can also load it with Valetudo (open source robot vacuum firmware)
